History is a Lie, Christopher Columbus Was NOT a Hero. He
Was a Murderer & Tyrant
The Open Mind
October 8, 2018
Like most people in the world today, I grew up being
indoctrinated to believe Christopher Columbus was a hero
that discovered America, nothing could be further from the
Truth.
Not only did Christopher Columbus not discover the Americas
-- since it was already inhabited and he was actually in
search of India and therefore lost -- but he was what could
justifiably be called a psychopath, since he oversaw mass
murders, tortures and rapes carried out under his watch. In
fact, he helped facilitate what is arguably the greatest
genocide in known human history.
The world might have never known about what really took
place here, had it not been for the investigative
journalism of a priest named Bartolomé de las Casas, who in
the beginning supported Christopher Columbus until he
became aware of the atrocities being committed. He wrote A
Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies, which
documented some of the most disturbing crimes against
humanity in history.
In his writing, de las Casas documents how the invading
colonizers brutally murdered babies, burnt innocent
civilians alive, cut off the hands of workers who did not
meet their quota for mining precious resources, and
tortured, raped, and trafficked women
Although most people would argue that the Native population
were savages, and backwards, Christopher Columbus' journal
clearly refutes these claims, where he himself noted how
remarkably kind and giving they were, how they shared
everything they had, and how they had no weapons and were
timid.
Amongst his own documentation of his crimes against the
native population, he also documents -- in his own writing
-- that they took child sex slaves for themselves, noting
that "those from 9 to 10 are now in demand."
Never About Spreading Religion, It Was Always About Profit
And Greed
Although the common person would blame religion -- as if it
has a mind of its own -- for these grave crimes against
humanity, they were actually originally inspired by profit
and greed. Historically, this has almost always been the
case, with public justification being that the authorities
are spreading Christianity, or the more modern propaganda
of spreading democracy.
You see, Columbus was sponsored by the crown of Castile, in
hopes of finding a land rich in natural resources and
minerals. And when he returned with news that supported
their hopes, including slave labor to be exploited, and a
people that could easily be conquered, they proceeded
forward with their plan.
Through inner circle politics, the Spanish elitists then
contacted Pope Alexander VI (from the rich and reputedly
corrupt Borgio family) and had him give a public
declaration "in the name of God" that stated they had
rights to take their land there, and justify an invasion
and enslavement of the locals (through the use of
politically persuasive language of course) by making it
seem like they were on a mission to help create a better
world and fight evil.
In fact, Columbus documented in his own journal that,
"should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I
shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for
this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them." In
short, it was never truly about spreading religion, that
was more of a cover story, it was always about profit and
greed.
This might seem foolish and naive for people to believe by
today's standards, but the same thing still goes on to this
very day, except the Pope has been largely replaced by the
TV and mass media. In other words, the public gets deceived
into supporting these crimes through the use of clever
propaganda by the ruling class and their cronies, on the
grounds of believing it to be a humanitarian campaign. But
it's not about religion, it's about a cancerous so called
elite exploiting the vulnerabilities of human nature.
This is an important distinction to make -- that a small
minority are the true root cause of the problem -- because
far too often in relation to history, those who are not
well researched will blame the crimes of the very few on
the many (an entire skin color, religion, country,
political party, etc.) without considering the proper
context of what really took place. Furthermore, those who
have been indoctrinated to associate their sense of self
with their flag, skin color, religion, or other social
construct, will often fall into the trap of becoming
defensive of these crimes, feeling themselves to be under
attack. This essentially amounts to clever politics and
psychological warfare on part of the high level ruling
class, because what this invariably does is create division
amongst the very people that need to unite in order to
intelligently deal with the true root cause of the problem.
Change Is Taking Place But Not The Most Important Changes
The good news is, more and more people have become aware
that Christopher Columbus was no hero, but a criminal of
the highest order, and have actually helped change the
traditional holiday of Columbus Day, to Indigenous People's
Day.
Although this is undoubtedly a victory, the overwhelming
majority still remain largely unaware of how the ruling
class continue to exploit the vulnerabilities of human
nature. They do this by manipulating our perception of who
our real enemy is, in an effort to justify their selfish
insatiable greed of invading foreign lands, and exploiting
both domestic and foreign people across the globe, amongst
other things.
